Naomi Osaka’s wild core workout leaves fans in awe

Naomi Osaka has amazed her fans with her incredible gym workout. The four-time Grand Slam champion recently posted a video on social media, showcasing her impressive fitness level—an even more impressive feat considering she is a mother to a toddler.

In the video, Naomi can be seen performing a core exercise so challenging that it demonstrates the rigorous training that professional athletes undergo daily. Balancing on gym equipment with her shoulder blades and feet, her midsection—where she gave birth just a year and a half ago—is suspended in the air while another person stands on her stomach! To further increase the difficulty, Naomi lifts one leg, maintaining her balance with only her shoulder blades and one foot.

Fans were thrilled by the video, praising the former world No. 1 for her incredible strength and control. One fan exclaimed, “Mama, a woman standing on top of YOU!” while another commented, “That’s some serious core strength.” Others cheered her on, saying, “We love a strong core queen” and “Yes! You got strong core and glutes!!!!!” An enthusiastic fan even predicted, “Mark my words, 2025 is going to be a breakout year for you. Can’t wait to see you on the court—go get that AO title!”

The two-time Australian Open champion, Osaka, will kick off her 2025 season at the ASB Classic in Auckland—marking the first time in eight years that she will start the season with a tournament outside of Australia.
